Abstract

Global disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have exposed the fragility of supply chains and the critical need for coordination. However, effective collaboration is often hindered by the reluctance of firms to disclose sensitive proprietary data, such as inventory levels or logistical bottlenecks, due to competitive concerns. To resolve this dilemma, this study introduces a privacy-preserving framework integrating Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) with blockchain technology. This approach allows stakeholders to validate compliance and operational status without revealing the underlying raw data, thereby fostering trust and resilience in decentralized networks.
